Holland Road Baptist Church, Grade II listed Baptist church in Hove, England.
Holland Road Baptist Church is a Baptist place of worship in Hove featuring distinctive Gothic Revival architecture with pale Purbeck Stone walls on its exterior. The interior showcases a hammerbeam roof structure supported by cast iron columns, creating an open and elegant spatial design.
Architect John Wills designed the building in 1887 after George Congreve purchased the land from Sir Julian Goldsmid to establish a new place of worship. The church was built to serve the growing Baptist community in that area.
The church has developed deep roots within the student communities of Brighton and Hove, serving as a meeting place for young people to gather and connect. This legacy continues today through regular activities and programs that bring people together across generations.
The church holds worship services on Sundays that can be attended in person or followed online from home. Visitors should check in advance if the building is open for touring or if access is limited to service times.
The building is the only Baptist place of worship among ten in Brighton and Hove to receive Grade II listed status. This rare distinction reflects its special architectural merit and importance to local heritage preservation.
